Life What's on your "Bucket List"? - Page 8

ziggysocki · 12:23 PM

My stepdad died of cancer in June of 2009 (he had a bone marrow transplant in 93 and a recurrence in 05) the last weeks were not pleasant. Also. the wifey fought off breast cancer over the last 18 months. This crap had gotten me thinking about my own "bucket list" so last summer I got a jump on it. Since August of last year I have done a several 5k races, a sprint triathlon, a couple duathlons and a full marathon. I have some more athletic competitions on the horizon, but was wondering what else I might give a go. Any suggestions (besides antifreeze)? What have you already done? What would you still like to do? Thanks, and of course, sorry if repost.

If there was ever a slam dunk way to get a couple jokes in somewhere again I would take a run at it. that was like 5 or 6 years ago. If not I will stick to writing blogs and situations. I am always trying to be in a band, do comedy, but in the end I am not will to give up my day job I have put 5 years in to do it steadily. If you ever want some of my shit or something to work pm. I haven't written an actual joke for awhile but you can spin my dialoge someway go right ahead.

Omg. I did an open mic once and I bombed! It was hysterical. First of all I chose the worst place possible. A folk singing club in Boston. And I was the ony one doing comedy. And then after waiting 3 hours I changed up my material at the last minutes and I ended up insulting them all with my first joke. When you bomb at stand up comedy you never have to be embarrassed at anything ever again.

There are many books I still want to read and several select cities and places I want to go to.

I would like to see the Pope in Vatican City, and visit many places in Europe. I want to go on a trip through the West on horse. See Grand Canyon, see the Rockies again, and Yellowstone. Sleep under the stars. Catch my own food. That sounds nice for a change.

And finally, I would like to live in a Catholic monastery for a time. Live a life of secluded devotion immersed in theology, philosophy, and prayer. Not for too long. A year at most. I don't know how I will ever be able to do such a thing though. I definitely don't think my girlfriend would be pleased.

Hey, cdcox, can you find the similar thread that I created a few years ago? I'd like to see where I stand, but I can't find it.

I want to grab Jennifer Anistons boobies and then run down the street laughing.

I always wanted to be the one who says "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" on just one episode.

I'd like to play in a minor league baseball game, but that isn't even possible.

...Sadly, I've not given much thought to a bucket list. Sorry to hear the news of your dad.

God Bless,

No official list yet, but I think travel would be a big part, and to maybe pay for a trip for my family (brothers and parents) to go to Hawaii.

Oh, and also to bang a supermodel.

You know how late in the 4th quarter of a college or pro football night game where the home team is getting blown out and the stadium is empty they always show some dude sitting in the stands, alone, with no one else remotely close to him and he's all stretched out over multiple seats/bleachers and looks sad and depressed and almost always gets a comment from the broadcast team?

I've always wanted to be that guy.

So... I am still working on this bucket list thing; I finished a marathon in under 4 hrs, finished a half marathon in under 1:45 (almost 1:40) Today a good friend and I have scheduled a trip to both make our first skydive. August 30th. Question to the planet: Should I go with the tandem or the instructor assisted solo? Solo takes 6 hrs of ground training, but you are on your own at the jump. Tandem is shorter class, and a bit cheaper. But... if you do the solo, it counts toward certification if you decided on that. Thoughts?

I thought the point of a bucket list was to do shit before you died, not get yourself killed before you've done enough shit.
